I have many fond memories of visiting your home in Chardon when I was a child and playing with Patsy, Pammy and Paulette. The meals were always good and Bernice was always such a kind person to all of us kids - I am not sure I would have liked having so many extra kids in my house all day, but she was always good to us. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Uncle Paul & Family - Our hearts are with you for the loss of our Aunt. I recall the compassion you expressed when we fulfilled my fathers wishes of spreading his and mom's ashes in the Grand River. We have many good fond memories of your families kindness with many visits to us at the farm.
To realize that the Kingdom is the theme of the Bible we all look to be favored, to be in that Kingdom free from Satan's Sin. Now she sleeps as Solomon said in Eccl. awaiting to be part of that Kingdom.
Our Love and prayers of comfort.
